10 classic Mad Men-era cocktails

The liquid lunches favoured by Don and his colleagues are often heavy on the martinis - a beautifully clear drink made of vodka or gin and just a splash of vermouth, garnished with a shred of lemon peel or an olive. Roger Sterling tends to favour them, though he's also keen on the gibson - essentially a martini with a pickled onion.

How to make it: Everyone has their own preferences, but around 75ml gin with 25ml white vermouth, stirred with ice then strained into a chilled cocktail glass, is a good place to start. Garnish with lemon or an olive, if you like it dirty.
